I don't know why everyone is jumping down MY throat. I have repeatedly said that I think this action is baseless.
HOWEVER, it's not as simple as black and white. Anyone who thinks it is, or that simple statements like "I wasn't born then, so a priori I cannot be liable" are missing the point entirely and are stupid. The action is NOT against people, it is against institutions. Such actions have been permitted before and such actions have been successful before. What is needed is a case law decision, like those passed down in the UK, that limits such actions on a point of law and natural justice.
But don't lecture me with irrelevant rhetoric. Just look at both sides of the argument. It makes convincing others of yours so much easier.
